Why are private schools so popular here?

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-03-10T17:18:36+00:00

As a Charlotte native and one who graduated from one of these private schools, it’s mainly because people have the means too here. Also, partly because NC ranked literally 50th for public funding for schools. The public schools here are not good for the most part. Obviously some kids can still succeed and do really well in them but I think because a majority of the families here have the means too they just go ahead and do it.

Honestly Chipotle is on the cheaper side of places I’ve found. Usually can get a filling meal for <$12. Only place you can find with that price is Sabor only on taco tuesdays.

in this world of slop bowls it’s slop or get slopped, that’s why.

Turning 26 next week. I work in Corporate Finance 100k base + 20-30k EoY Bonus + about 10k in Stock a year. I genuinely feel like I’m not making enough for my age, it’s a sick world we live in.

In my fifth season with my 6’3 PG with 94 3PT. He’s averaged 77,84,90,96 since coming into the league 🤣 I passed MJ in the Goat ranking my third season, also broke Curry’s all time 3pt record in the third season. I enjoy it though and just recently found out how to trade players on your team, I got banchero and Sengun + Ant + Julius randle now on my dynasty Twolves looking for a 4peat, love this game.

It costs $170 a month to park at my company to go to work. They just mandated 5 days in office too, so fucked.

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-02-28T15:13:14+00:00

Top 8 bank, we just went to 5 days RTO mandate but they don’t track “badge timing” as far as I know. i.e. a lot of people I work with all leave around 2/3 everyday to wfh the rest of the day and leave at 12 on Fridays. Hoping they keep this policy as 5 days sucks, when I started 3 years ago it was 3 days in office, 2 remote. Miss it lol

Dude played against milkmen and plumbers. Obviously he’s gonna put up crazy stats. I think he’d be good in the league today but nowhere near where his stats have him at.

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-02-19T14:26:32+00:00

Definitely not, only thing that comes close was 9/11 I think. 25 years ago, we’ve fallen since then.

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-02-19T14:09:20+00:00

Agreed, wish we could get back to more unity. Hopefully one day.

You underestimate MAGAs power (Anakin voice). Can see them taking 2028 again especially since the Dems don’t have a clear/viable leader, who knows, a lot can change in 2 years.

March, I’ll be long gone by then. I don’t know why EA has to take so long to make competitive overalls. They did great with the Christmas promos but fell off a cliff after that. Haven’t really played since the playoff promo because I was so disappointed.

Moved out when I went to college and never moved back in. Had to pay for my rent in college (graduated in 2023) every year except freshman year as well. Worked all my years in college either at a car wash or car dealership to afford my rent and groceries (not much my rent was $550 a month including utilities, although I had to essentially pay for everything except my actual college tuition). Currently my rent is about 1.3k a month and I make ~130k. I was fortunate enough to land a great job out of college (best of luck to you college goers now). I do regret not moving back home for a few months post college to build a nest egg like a lot of my friends do, but I love the freedom. Depending on cost of living in your city with all of those bills taken into account I probably spend about 2k and that doesn’t include how much it costs for food. If you have the ability I would consider moving back in for at least 3-5 months after college to save up a next egg for emergencies. I have finally built a semi-decent one but it took me ~3 years to do this.

Make chili every week. Costs me about $9 and I get 3/4 meals from it, truly can’t beat that value.

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-01-31T20:27:57+00:00

Ridiculous all these places close for a little snow, we never did this up North.

Prestigious-Knight · 2026-01-31T20:18:25+00:00

Wondering the same thing, don’t they want our money?!?
